TIPS TO IDENTIFY COOLANT LEAKS IN YOUR NISSAN
2
Maintaining your Nissan through regular care and
inspection is essential to keep it in superior
condition.
3
With a proper maintenance schedule, you can
continue the longevity of your Nissan.
4
This will improve your protection against common
problems such as radiator coolant leaks.
5
LOOK FOR COMMON INDICATORS
It is vitally important that you frequently
observe how your Nissan is running.
6
Radiator coolant leaks can irreversibly damage
both your engine and your transmission.
7
The following are some of the most common
indicators that will alert you to a coolant leak
8
PUDDLES UNDER THE HOOD
Any strange liquids leaking onto the ground under
the hood of your Nissan should be promptly
investigated.
9
The coolant will most likely be yellow, green, or
sometimes pink in color, slimy to the touch, and
give off a faintly sweet smell.
10
Some key areas to focus on where leaks occur are
the

• Seams along the top and bottom of the radiator
• Hoses that carry coolant throughout the engine
• Head gaskets

11
DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHTS
If your Nissan is leaking coolant, eventually its
reservoir will begin to run low
12
The first dashboard indication of this occurring
will be when the low coolant light comes on.
13
Without enough coolant, your Nissan's engine is
at risk of overheating, which can cause expensive
damage.
14
STAINS ON THE RADIATOR
Leaks will cause coolant to splash onto the
radiator while the vehicle is running.
15
Discolored stains can then appear as a result of
the coolant quickly evaporating off of the hot
radiator.
16
Over time, these spots eventually will turn into
rust and can further damage the radiator.
17
PINK "MILKSHAKE"
Nissan models have seen a particular issue with
leaks causing the coolant to mix with
transmission fluid. This toxic concoction
results in a frothy, pink liquid that is severely
damaging to your engine. It has been coined
the "strawberry milkshake of death."
18
HOW TO RESPOND TO THE COOLANT LEAK
It is important to act quickly to contain the
problem and prevent any further harm to your
Nissan. A coolant leak near a clamp can be
easily fixed by gently tightening the clamp with
a screwdriver. It is highly recommended that
you consult with a trained Nissan mechanic
whenever a leak is discovered.
